MERGER

What are the reasons behind the merger? After years of pioneering and creating the most authentic coworking communities in Singapore, we have found that the world needs a better way for coworking, innovation and growth.

Found8 is a new singular vision and identity that drives growth and betterment for our diverse community of innovators. At our core is the greatest asset we’ve always had, which is our visionary communities, partners and a true spirit of collaboration.

On top of this we are bringing equal parts of our shared strengths to consistently produce game changing businesses, through our expanded network, beautiful spaces, and high touch customer services.

What does the new name “Found8” mean? Both Collision 8 and Found. are both great names that align with the spirit of brand quality and impact we wanted to make in the world. So to forge a singular expression of identity we took one unique element from each name that encapsulated the value and opportunity they brought to the table.

Found as a word beautifully and clearly expresses both the emotion and pragmatism of starting, growing and innovating businesses. 8 represents the infinite (∞) value that can be found in the perfect combination of people and opportunities.

Who does Found8 serve? The innovation community in Singapore and the region! For businesses who are looking for a supportive work environment, Found8 has a network of coworking spaces and innovation communities that can unlock opportunities for personal and professional growth. This includes start-ups, scale-ups, corporates, SMEs, experts, government bodies, VCs, as well as companies and accelerators who are looking to launch in Asia via Singapore.

How is Found8 different from other coworking spaces? Found8 puts people at the heart of innovation, and innovation into the hearts of people. Unlike any other office space provider, we care deeply about your business success and in delivering high touch customer service.

The Found8 community combines Found’s legacy and extensive alumni network with Collision 8’s culture of high touch personal service to help each member belong and participate in an ever growing number of opportunities.
